So four weeks ago when we moved in to our new home, we had basically no food storage. (We had quite a lot when we lived in Maryland but used it and gave it away before we moved to Utah.) Knowing that we were only temporarily in our rental home, it was hard to think about stocking up and moving it all again. Well, we have been thinking a lot about food storage since President Murphy came to our ward and counseled us quite firmly to get started on it. So, as soon as we moved in to our permanent home, we set up shelves in our basement and I have been buying a few extra items each week to fill them. So far we have this...

Now granted this may be quite puny, but considering a few weeks ago those shelves were empty, I don't think we have done too badly. (Bear in mind this is EXTRA food, not my pantry.) Now EVERY time I go to the store I pick up AT LEAST one item for my food storage. It has become fun to find deals that I can stock up on. :) Next stop, the cannery for all the long term stuff! Anyone interested?
